SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA – Concha Labs has announced the launch of their FDA-cleared Concha Sol™ Hearing Aids, an over-the-counter (OTC) solution offering personalized hearing profiles that users can set up from their iPhones without any appointments. Priced at $1,299 per pair, these hearing aids aim to address the common frustrations of inconvenience, high cost, and poor sound personalization experienced by many individuals with hearing loss.

User-Centric Development and Innovation
The Concha Sol™ Hearing Aids were developed by a team where one-third of the members have hearing loss.

Concha’s technology is backed by six patents across two families, demonstrating the company’s commitment to innovation. The team includes experts in audiology, hearing science, and audio engineering.
